Lindsey Graham: Iran ‘most thuggish’ regime

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) thinks the Obama administration’s negotiations with Iran don’t consider that “we’re dealing with the most thuggish people in the whole world.”

“We’re dealing with people who are not only untrustworthy: this is a murderous regime that murders their own people, create chaos and mayhem throughout the whole world, the largest sponsor of terrorism,” Graham said Monday on CNN. “This deal doesn’t represent the fact we’re dealing with the most thuggish people in the whole world.”

Pols respond to Iran nuclear deal

Graham, a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, raised his concerns that an agreement with Iran that doesn’t dismantle their enrichment program could lead to the development of an Iranian bomb.

“We did this with North Korea. They promised to not go forward on a reactor that’s about to go online this year,” Graham said. “We’re so far away from what the end game should look like, I’m very worried.”
